Boise, Idaho – May 2011: CCI announces the completion of a comprehensive remodel of Hillcrest Country Club in Boise, Idaho. The renovations and new additions created a club facility that has been an immediate hit with the club’s membership. Recently, over 500 members enjoyed the club’s grand opening after 18 months of a multi-phased construction period.
New amenities include a covered patio with a movable glass exterior wall system, which allows the space to be either open-air or fully conditioned year-round. Also, new, larger windows throughout the club provide a wonderful view of downtown Boise in the valley below and the mountains in the distance. A new fitness facility that overlooks the golf course was added and instantly became one of the club’s most popular amenities with the membership.
Ultimately, the new design tied together two of the club’s existing buildings to create a single clubhouse structure that is anchored by a centrally-located covered patio. The existing grill was removed and replaced with a more open grill that captures the view of the golf course and valley. The ballroom, bar lounge and private dining rooms were all remodeled with new finishes and furnishings. Additionally, the men’s and women’s locker rooms and lounges, golf shop and pool were completely reworked to bring the facility up to modern private club standards.
Stone columns and wood beam accents were added to the exterior of the clubhouse with an emphasis on the entry areas, such as the Porte Cochere, the ballroom entry and golf/fitness/athletic entry. Interior trim includes stained knotty alder moldings and paneling throughout. Granite countertops are featured on both bars and in the restrooms and locker rooms. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings accentuate the covered patio and new mixed grill spaces, making them very warm, inviting and comfortable for the members.
In addition to the architectural design, the club’s interiors were also designed by CCI, and they reflect the casual nature of the club’s members with the new finishes and furnishings. Custom chandeliers and light fixtures were utilized extensively and give the club a true one-of-a-kind feel.
Throughout the early design process, CCI worked closely with the Board, management and planning committee to achieve a favorable vote of 85% of the membership for the project. CCI successfully completed the exciting project both on time and in budget. The club’s membership increased over the course of the project, especially after the first phase of construction – the athletic areas, locker rooms and covered patio were completed in June 2010. Now, with the club 100% complete, Hillcrest Country Club continues to be one of the premier clubs in the Northwest.
